Oh, those are supposed to be retorts?

i get it now, HD800 mods are next

Don't think there is enough room for that many cotton balls. Unless you have to stuff them in your ears first.

Maybe that would explain what's wrong with his ears.

I would fully understand your decision to not advertise here as a result.

Bravo. I think that pretty much says it all.

It's official, he's gone off the deep end of audio insanity. Anyone in the market for a free embolism should read #8 on his list... :asshat:

I called him out for the same thing when he first posted up his review prior to canjam Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio - View Single Post - Sennheiser HD800 Appreciation Thread

he clearly has transformed into a complete self serving :asshat:

It appears that Les_Garten

Is still rather smartin',

From the shovel to the ear

That he earned over here.

Did anyone save the Lawton Audio rant before Markl changed it? I wasn't checking the forums yesterday afternoon and missed it. It's no longer up on the Lawton Audio website.

My educated guess is by esteemed counsel from the Sunshine State? In which case it is in good hands. I just hope there's a choice of law provision like the following:

This TOU shall be interpreted under the laws of the :basement:. Any dispute under this TOU shall be resolved by :basement:.

Just picked mine up off the porch.

Really really really big box, I am actually surprised how much smaller these headphones are in person vs. photos. However the earcups are HUGE. Not incredibly impressed with the build quality the silver mesh on my pair seem to already have a scratch on them. The silver mesh also seems to attract finger prints/body oil quite a bit. You can also hear some sort of spring clicking in each of the ear cups when moving the earcups back and forth.

Initial impressions vs the D7000:

As many people say the D7000 has a coloring similar to a equalization of \__/. The HD800's right out of the box sound like they have a bit of midrange bias but much more balanced than the D7000. The midrange bias I'm hearing could be because I'm used to the d7000, but consider that I primarily listen to ESW9a's in the office.

String instruments on the d7000 still sound more realistic to me as the tone they carry is just much more solid. The HD800's are better a vocals and an overall more balanced sound.

That's it for now will provide more later :)

I don't hear any spring clicking and why would you touch the silver mesh? I was impressed by the build quality, actually better than I expected.

It was on accident since I was not use to the huge earcups, as I was taking them off my thumb touched silver mesh. :palm:

Intresting that you don't hear the spring clicking .... Any other owners care to chime in?

Haven't seen or heard anything like that on my end and I'm pretty sensitive to that sort of thing.

I also think the build quality on these is excellent.

How weird I've uploaded a quick video from my laptops webcam so you can hear the creaking I'm referring to:
